(CNN) - Democrats kept their eye on GOP hopeful Mitt Romney Sunday, singling out the Republican frontrunner for his record at a private investment firm and providing further evidence Democrats see the former Massachusetts governor as the strongest candidate in the Republican field.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, took Romney to task for what she said was an inconsistent record while defending her organization's relentless stream of anti-Romney videos and memos, saying the candidate deserved the onslaught.

"Mitt Romney is one of the candidates who is near the top or at top of their field, and he's invited and deserves that scrutiny because he has been distorting and mischaracterizing the presidents record," Wasserman Schultz said.

She continued, "Mitt Romney has no conviction, has flip-flopped on every issue, and voters need to know."

The DNC has kept almost singular focus on Romney over the past several months, producing a series of web videos that call into question Romney's consistency on issues and his role at Bain Capital, the private investment firm he founded in the 1980s.

Romney's campaign has characterized the attacks as distractions from President Barack Obama's record on job creation and economic growth.

On Sunday, Wasserman Schultz flatly rejected the suggestion by Fox News Host Chris Wallace that Romney's tenure at Bain Capital was comparable to President Barack Obama's role in the failed energy firm Solyndra, saying the assessment was "apples and oranges."

The federal government offered half a billion dollars in loan guarantees to Solyndra before the company went bankrupt in 2011. Wallace compared the lay-offs that took place after the company's bankruptcy to lay-offs at companies acquired by Bain Capital.

"The decisions that were made at Solyndra that ultimately led to their bankruptcy were those of people who worked at Solyndra," Wasserman Schultz said.

On ABC's "This Week," top Obama adviser David Axelrod took similar aim at Romney, saying his record at Bain Capital signaled an anti-worker mindset.

"I don't think that, frankly, bringing a Bain mentality to this economy, to running this economy makes him a strong candidate," Axelrod said. "I don't think shifting and moving around on positions, fundamental positions is one that people are going to embrace. Trust is a big issue in the presidency. I think there's a big trust question when it comes to Governor Romney."

At Saturday's GOP presidential debate, Romney said his record of creating jobs at Bain was strong.

"In the business I had, we invested in over 100 different businesses, and net-net, taking out the ones where we lost jobs and those that we added, those businesses have now added over 100,000 jobs," Romney said.

Mittens is the chosen one of the Kochs and Rove, so he will be the republican candidate. He is ideal for the billionaires, as he is easily manipulated, spineless, clueless on foreign policy, and the biggest flip flopper in the republican party. The fact that he is almost as wealthy as Steven Forbes, and is bought and paid for by Wall Street, make him the candidate of the upper .00001% of wealthy Americans.

If you have to run for a political ticket to pay your mortgage – then you don’t qualify
Therefore, according to MITTens, you have to be RICH and not live on the “Other Side”
He also stated that “People are Corporations” – can you imagine that crap
Therefore, you buy businesses to gain $$$$$$ and then sell them out – and those are facts

MITTens really showed his REAL self in the debate; finally, the other candidates had enough
They exposed him for what he really is – Now maybe the voters will see he’s not that tough
I think this might “hurt” MITTens in NH and they will catch on “for goodness sake”
And realize the TRUTH about MITTens and how much he LIES and a “flip-flopping” fake

Obama 2012 – Because the more we see what’s coming from the “other side” – the more we have a need to “kick some behind”

Wasserman Shiltz is being tutored by "foot in mouth Biden". She's not any more competent than Obama.

No need to focus on Willard as he will hang himself in the GE. He won't be surrounded by people in his party (whatever that is) who with the exception of Gingrich are afraid of him. President Obama won't be afraid and won't hold back any punches and that is why despite the noise they make about Obama doing such a bad job they are having such a hard time deciding who to put up against him. In the end Obama will be a two term president.

As of this morning Mitt Romney has the most votes for President, but Ron Paul is in a very close second. Who do you think the next President should be? The votes are rolling in and the results are quite surprising. Make a difference. Participate in the 2012 Ebay United States Presidential Election Poll and cast your vote. Go to Ebay and Search for 2012 Ebay Poll, pick your candidate and vote. It is that simple. Proceeds to help benefit the American Red Cross.

I don't think any of the Republicans have offered new ideas that are vastly different than previous GOP ideology. It would be nice to see something different.
